Well that's different :D Good to hear some classical music with all this new techno buzz floating around "lol". No but seriously well composed and most importantly pleasant to listen to! AND it doesn't get booring! Amazing work man!

As for the percussion, I would say, put a few more rolls in there here and there, to give some nice transitions from scene to scene. And the last cymbal crash could be toned down just a shade. I think the bass drum was pretty swell throughout.

However, despite that this is a wonderful version, and I think it was really cool to see this work progress from something simple to progressively complex. It was a nice ride, says I.

Do I think some things might be hammered and smoothed out? Yes, but that's really a nonissue at this point. What I see here is a constant progression of improvement culminating in something darn exquisite, so congrats on the good job.

I'm loving this song! It has a light and fluffy feel to it that makes me think of some sort of background track to a older Final Fantasy game!
The drums that started at 2:01 I think were a nice touch because I feel it gave a nice break from the more repetitive beats from them. I also loved the part at 1:29. It was kind of unexpected (to me at least) and despite it being short it was sweet.

Transition at 1:00 was great! I thought it was nice that you could only hear a few things going on and then it started to build up into more of a layered piece. I think it was interesting listening to what was going on around in there.

Love the ending! Not cliche at all actually. It was simple and effective and I think it was really nice to just end it instead of making a huge finale that droned on and got everyone bored! It made it so the listener knew the song was going to end and they don't have to skip the rest of the song because it is short and isn't going to make them wait.

Just too bad it's so short! C=> I would love to see it have been longer. I think if this was built on much more it would be even better! Not saying it wasn't in the first place, but you get what I mean!

Score: 10

Yep, another good improvement to the previous version. Some of the best Classical stuff I've heard on NG, keep it up.

There weren't many new melodies from the original, just the ones at the end, but they were great new additions. Wish I saw more flute ambience though. Instruments, as I said before, had excellent quality, with the oboe souding the best from all of them.

The transitions on the whole were great. The only transition which felt a little abrupt was the one at around 1:57. Firstly, the flute was just slightly too quiet, and it was a sudden transition from loud to soft, and secondly, instead of just ending the strings like that, you should play one long note with the strings and then simply fade that note away while the flute is playing the ambience. I liked the slight drum build-up after, though. The ending you did here is almost perfect. I think you should continue the song a little more with the oboe and strings, and maybe add the bassoon later on, and then you end it as you did now, since it is quite abrupt as it is right now. Sorry for the long paragraph. D:

The orchestral drums are quite well done for a first try. I think you should give them more importance though, since it's very hard to hear them as they are now, and you can really achieve some epic-sounding percussion out of orchestral drums when their volume is quite high. Good job with the snare rolls. Practically, my only complaint is that they're too quiet.

Has a few defects here and there, but the fact that it's one of the best classical pieces I've heard on NG in a big while, you'll get a 10/10 from me. Good job, keep up the great work!
